As the effects of the COVID-19 virus further manifest themselves, this will result in many claims for delay under construction contracts and for delay-related termination of those contracts. However, not all delays allegedly resulting from COVID-19 will translate into contractual entitlement of a contractor to additional time and/or money.

Managing a strata corporation can be challenging at the best of times. From enforcing Bylaws to maintaining and repairing the corporation’s property, volunteer strata councils are often pushed out of their comfort zones. This can certainly be true when strata councils receive requests for copies of the corporation’s records and information and are forced to determine what, and how much, to disclose.

TO SEIZE OR NOT TO SEIZE? THAT IS THE QUESTION. When a consumer enters into any one of a number of types of ‘rent to own’ agreements (i.e., a car, appliance or furniture lease, etc.), the business is likely to rely on a ‘security lease’ to complete the transaction. The agreement may provide the business owner with a security interest as a means of redress, should the customer default on their payment obligations. However, a security lease is not an open door invitation fo...r the secured party to take whatever steps it wants against a defaulting customer.
